I need antivirus protection for college...

nortons is terrible. sorry, but its just bad.....

How is it bad? You make a statement without any relevant back up.

Like I said I have always run NAV on all my Macs for so many versions and never had a problem... not ever. It never interferes with the OS or any other software on my Mac.

I have to admit that I ran Norton on Panther and also had no issues above and beyond minor ones. I think there is broad consensus that Norton's Disk Utility-esque product...commander or whatever it is called, is bad and evil. But NAV ... I ran NAV for most of a year, using my Mac in mixed Mac/PC environment, never got a virus flag, and decided to eliminate it. To be honest, I also ran it for two years on my Desktop PC, running Win98 (yeah, yeah) also got no hits, and also decided not to bother anymore.

Just to recap this whole thing, I'm in college, the scan program didn't even recognize my computer and it just let me onto the network with no problem. My roommate on the other hand, didn't have his Windows XP updated with some service pack, so he was not able to get onto the network.

So, you guys were right, the program didn't care about my Mac, cause it is teh awesome.

Also, I bought the latest version of norton for OS 10.4 and it hasn't affected my computer is a negative way yet.
